Customer Reviews
I don’t write reviews but I have to write this one. Waiting time was to be 20 minutes. We waited around 30 minutes which would be understandable but please keep in mind we were the only people there and order was one gyro and a chicken salad. Unfortunately it was to go so I did not check the food. For 16 dollars gyro I was expecting something else.. meat was cold, tasteless (as there was nothing in it) completely disgusting. Same goes for the pickled vegetables which looked rotten. I don’t know how this establishment can have 4.1 star but I DON’T recommend this place! If you can rather go buy chips in the gas station next door.
The food here is astoundingly good. Fresh, incredible flavors, cooked to perfection. I had flavors I didn’t know existed. It was amazing. It wasn’t bargain basement cheap, but the portions were generous and the quality was unparalleled. I still haven’t gotten over it. I’m not sure I will. Please support them and get some of the best food you’ve had in a while.
The food is great and plentiful, but realize up front it's inside a gas station so no indoor seating. They do have a very nice patio with tall glass walls to block the wind and many nice chairs, so you do have the option to stay and eat. The Swarma plate is enough food for two easily. If you stay ask for plates. We got fries as the side buy will opt for rice next time. The hummus was excellent, so was the Greek salad and it came with lots of chicken and beef. Great place for lunch on a nice day
The restaurant is located behind the Lompoc Fuel gas station, but they have made good use of the space. The seating area is set up outside on a tiled floor, which we really liked. It was surprising to see a big chandelier in such a small area. It was a brave decision, I must say. The menu at this restaurant is extensive, and it took us around 10 minutes to decide what to order. There is a wide variety of options, including some that were new to us, like Iskender. Half of the menu is dedicated to vegan dishes, which is great for vegans and vegetarians. We decided to try the Shawarma Bowl and Iskender Falafel, and we absolutely loved them. We couldn't stop eating! The best part is that the prices are unbelievably reasonable. It was our first time trying Iskender, and we think the chef did a
If it was possible to leave more stars I would!! No matter where I am on the central coast I make the detour to stop here. This place is insane. Best Mediterranean I’ve ever had. Do not be deterred by the gas station. You’re in for a meal that will knock your socks off, amazing service, and an eclectic character filled vibe. I don’t know how they make their food better than everywhere else but I hope they keep doing it. Happy about this Mediterranean indeed!!!
